Question
All of the players forgot____ jerseys.
Options
- A
his
- B
her
- C
there
- D
their
Explanation
The correct answer is
their
because it is the plural possessive pronoun that indicates ownership by the plural noun 'players'. Since 'players' refers to more than one individual, a plural pronoun is required. The optionshis
andher
are both singular and do not match the plural subject. Meanwhile,there
is an adverb that does not function as a possessive pronoun, making it an unsuitable choice in this context. This option is singular and masculine, which does not agree with the plural subject 'players'. This option is singular and feminine, which also does not agree with the plural subject 'players'. This option is an adverb indicating location and does not fit grammatically in the context of the sentence. This option is the correct plural possessive pronoun that appropriately agrees with the plural subject 'players'.Tagged under English · Combination Mistake · 2025
